ROAR Run

ROAR RUN

April 21st, 2023

School Goal $66,000 

We are so excited for the 2023 ROAR Run!  This will be our second year running the fundraiser as a PTA instead of using an outside company. This means all of the funds will go directly to Meiklejohn.  Here are some more details about this event. Parents should have received an email today from MemberHub about the ROAR Run.  You will receive just one email, not one email per student. Please check your spam folder if you do not see the email.  This email will contain the link to the website as well as information on how to share the experience with family and friends.

Please know you can submit donations/pledges online via credit card.  There is a fee associated with the online service.  You will also find a form on the last page of this handout to use if you wish to submit donations via cash or check.  All donations are tax-deductible. If you are in need of a donation letter please you can email meiklejohnptatreasurer@gmail.com after dropping off cash or checks to the front office. If you pay online there will be donation information on your receipt.
